Hello everyone. This is my first post. I know there is another Lotusflower so sorry for any confusion. My name will change soon. 🙂
My friend suffers with Psoriasis. I gave him a treatment and the next week it flared up very badly, so much so he was going to call to make an appointment to go into hospital. But then it started to calm down and go into a retreat. It retreated so much he was thrilled. He said it had never retreated before in 18 years without the help of drugs that are so strong they damage the liver. Drugs he has only ever been allowed to use for a month before his liver function tests went out of kilter. I have given him a second treatment and during the following week it is flaring up again. Looking very red and angry. I am due to give him a third treatment today. How often do my fellow reflexologists think I should be treating him? He is not paying me so money is not an issue. Has anyone else out there experienced treating clients with Psoriasis?
Any advice welcome
thanks

RE: Advice about Psoriasis please
The treatments are obviously having a profound effect on your friend's psoriosis. This is great as you have probably explained to him about healing crisis and that things should gradually improve.
As one of the prime causes of psoriosis is stress, I would recommend treatments at weekly or at least fortnightly to start with, and once things do start to calm down, you could look at longer intervals between treatments if he wishes.
However, if money isn't an issue and you are happy to give your time, he can only benefit by having the more regular treatments.

I agree with Lesley. It sounds as though you're getting results very quickly!
